In Yanjing City, in the training room of the Brilliant Club, with the end of a Dota solo match, the entire room fell silent, and the oppressive atmosphere filled every corner. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A slightly thin young man looked at the already black and white computer screen in a daze, his mind was full of thoughts, and after several struggles in his heart, he finally left the keyboard with his hands and said weakly: "I lost." ”

Dawn lost, lost inexplicably, at the last moment of the game, if nothing else, it should have ended in a draw, but Dawn actually had a subtle operation that was not played, and the result was to lose the game.

Micro manipulation mistakes, strange and familiar feelings, Dawn has a level back to the illusion of two years ago, at that time he was not a professional player, often make mistakes in some subtle operations, every then, he usually blames the keyboard for malfunctioning and the like, and later he learned that his level is not good.

Now after the mechanical training of his career, his strength has been qualitatively improved, and the phenomenon of micro-manipulation mistakes has not appeared for a long time.

The micro-manipulation mistake in the game just now, Liming is 99% sure that the keyboard is out of order.

A deep sense of helplessness rose in Liming's heart, and he wanted to justify that the keyboard had failed just now, but this justification seemed to be a little pale, because he had debugged the keyboard himself before the game, and there was no problem.

Dawn was vaguely aware of something, and he didn't say anything about the fact that the keyboard had just failed, because he knew it would only make him even more embarrassed.

"Why does it have to be like this?" Dawn looked up at the winner of this match, a young man who always had a gentle smile on his face, Li Cheng, the captain of the brilliant team.

"Let's go, the pro game isn't for you. My brother concludes with a warning that sometimes it's not enough to be talented in playing games. Li Jiang motioned to the club manager on the side to hand the retirement declaration document to Liming.

"Hehe... Brother Jiang, I remember you telling me about the word talent. ”

At the beginning, Li Jiang said that you are very talented, but Liming stupidly followed him away from his hometown, and came to Yanjing, which he was not familiar with, with the longing for the world champion. Now a sentence that talent alone is not enough, but it makes Dawn leave gloomily. It's ridiculous to think about.

"Is a draw bad?" Dawn took a deep look at the face of the person who claimed to be his brother in front of him, signed the retirement statement without hesitation, and then turned to leave.

"Pros aren't as simple as you think." Looking at Liming's dejected back, Li Jiang felt a trace of unbearability in his heart, but he was quickly replaced decisively and muttered: "This is what he brought on himself, and he can only blame himself." ”

Walking out of the club's gate, a light rain fell in the sky, and Dawn didn't seem to notice it at all, walking aimlessly through the streets.

He clearly remembered the picture of meeting Li Jiang in an Internet café two years ago:

"Little brother, Dota is having a good time. There is no interest in playing two together. Li Jiang smiled brightly, giving people a warm feeling, just like a big brother next door.

"Yes, I'll fly you in minutes." At that time, Li was only fourteen years old, and he was simple-minded, and he didn't think that the big brother next door in front of him would have any purpose in approaching him.

After entering the game, Li Jiang showed all kinds of operations and routines, and he was shocked to see Liming, and he worshipped him, he thought that he was a rare master, but compared to Li Jiang, it was a small thing.

After a few games, Li Jiang said lightly: "Xiao Ming, what do you think of my brother's game?" ”

"It's so powerful, Brother Jiang, can you teach me?" Dawn likes games very much, and has a strong desire to become more powerful, and the idea of apprenticeship has risen in his heart.

"Huh? Well, in fact, my brother is a professional player in the Brilliant Club, and I often need to train, and I don't have much free time, so I can only teach the people of my own club. ”

"So, can I join the Brilliant Club and become a pro? My technique is also very good. Liming looked at Li Jiang with a look of hope, although he was still young, he also knew that the requirements to become a professional player were very high.

"Absolutely, you're still very talented and have the potential to become a top professional. Maybe we can win the World Championship together in the future. Li Jiang replied with a smile.

After Li Jiang's step-by-step guidance, Liming stepped into the e-sports professional circle in this way, for which he had a lot of trouble with his parents, and in the end his parents couldn't resist him, so he had to say, "When you don't want to play, go home." ”

###

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the bone-chilling coldness pulled Dawn out of his memories, and he hurried back to his apartment.

At this moment, Liming is confused, he is only sixteen years old, an age when he should have been taken care of by his parents and went to school carefree, but because of his inner persistence, or because of impulsiveness and willfulness, he left his hometown and stepped into the e-sports circle.

If it's smooth sailing, that's fine, but who knows that he retired in a daze, and how to go in the future, he thinks he should think about it carefully.

What he signed was no ordinary retirement statement, with an add-on clause that he would not be allowed to return for three years, meaning he had to say goodbye to his favorite Dota career.

"Why, why exactly?" Liming's head is like a mess, he can't figure it out, he can't understand how Li Jiang, the captain who always smiles and patiently guides the team members on weekdays, how can he want to solo with himself because of such a small dispute, and it is also this kind of life and death situation of "who loses and who retires".

It is self-evident what retirement means for a professional player, usually, unless the two sides have a deep hatred for this kind of solo, Liming can't think of when he will have a feud with Li Jiang.

"Maybe he's just on the spur of the moment. If only I had taken a step back. Liming could only comfort himself like this, although he knew that it was not an impulse, the experience of living alone for two years had made his mind mature a lot, Li Jiang's aggressive words when he proposed solo, cold and cruel eyes, he knew that Li Jiang was no longer the Li Jiang he knew at the beginning, or maybe he never knew the real Li Jiang.

"So be it, leaving may be the best option." Liming didn't want to think too badly about Li Jiang, who brought him into the e-sports circle, and he didn't want to believe that this competition was a long-planned conspiracy. Esports, it's simple.

"I'm tired, I'm really tired." Dawn fell on the bed heavily, took out his mobile phone, and sent a text message home, "I can't play anymore, I'll be home the day after tomorrow." ”

Dawn chose to go home, he always remembered the dim eyes of his parents when he left his hometown, he didn't understand at first, and now he knows that it was a kind of disappointment to the extreme.

When he went home this time, he knew that it was indispensable to the blame and scolding of his parents, and perhaps the cynicism of the seven aunts and eight aunts, but it was still much, much better than wandering outside alone.
